Main Minister A. Revanth Reddy preferred to create a new company distribution within reforms.
In addition to northern and southern energy distribution companies, the new Dismom would deal exclusively with the free power of the agricultural sector, the free drive of up to 200 units for eligible households, free energy for farmers and other systems carried out in the interest of ordinary people. The new discom would cover the whole state as one unit, he said he ordered the officials concerned to develop ways in that direction.
The main minister wanted the overhaul, cleaning the energy department to ensure its effective functioning and directing the department to mention the reforms. The reforms in this sector have improved the performance of energy companies and improved their evaluation at the national level.
“Reforms are mandatory to strengthen the financial situation of distribution companies,” he said. Even if they start restructuring Discoms, officials should also focus on reducing the credit burden on them. In this respect, a comprehensive action plan should be prepared to restructure loans, because companies of energy distribution face a serious financial crisis for loans that meant interest more than 10%.
The main minister ordered officials to find that solar energy consumption was promoted in government schools, universities and offices throughout the state. Steps to set up solar power plants in government offices should be launched. District collectors should be entrusted with responsibility for identifying suitable buildings for the establishment of solar plants in their relevant districts, he said he ordered officials to prepare a comprehensive action plan in this direction for war position.
